Did upper body (lats, chest, tris, and shoulder rehabs) for the first time in a long time today ... basically first time since I acknowledged my shoulder was hurt. It's still bothering me and I really should go to the doctor. It's so odd because I can do lat pulldowns, no problemo. Wasn't as heavy as I was 2 months ago; but not far off and I was being cautious. I couldn't do incline bench press. Tried with just the bar and it hurt. On flat, though, I was able to lift around things. I got into an arched powerlift position, squeezed my shoulder blades together, and really focused on letting the lats take the weight on the down-motion. I used the real bench rather than the smith so that I could have a more natural movement. It helped. Anyway, I'm on the road to recovery now; but I still need to go see a doc and possibly get an MRI. Something is not right in there.
